Someone posted details for a design guy on here. I emailed him and he designed me a fantastic flyer colour both sides for £24.99. If anyone wants his email let me know.
I ordered 30,000 a few week back for £99.00 of flyer zone and delivered 300+ last Wednesday because I had the afternoon off, i've hired someone to do it now!!

Hi Neil

I would be interested in getting that guys email off you.

Cheers :)

We are getting out about 4000 leaflets  a week out for pressure-washing which is a little less than normal.

We employ our own part time leaflet deliver who works 3 hours a day and we have 2 guys who do 3 hours each on a sat & sun. If you want success with leaflets you need this sort of numbers

Mike

As a percentage split against the carpet cleaning side of your business how does it stack up.

Do you post two leaflets together or a week on the pressure washing  & a week on the carpet cleaning?

They are a DL size, ( complement slip size) carpet cleaning on one side pressure washing the other.

Although the last 2 weeks I have been using a double sided pressurewashing leaflet going out solus, it has been working fantastic

I always see now as the sweet spot for getting the work in on the domestic.

The winter is definitely over, people are starting to look at the garden and may be getting back into it and they can see properly how green everything has gotten around their homes.

We are going to be stacked this year - different market but I don't see any excuse for people to say they can't get the work in.

I have just had 10 000 commercial leaflets done, picked them up tonight, good quality, good images but specific on chewing gum & graffiti removal.

Looking forward to tramping about the stores with them.

If they know about you - they will call.

Good to see some positive Mike ;)

There's a game plan going on here.

Never leafleted commercial either but there is going to be more than one angle, they will be leafleted around where we have works going on, sent out to possible clients with a cover letter and or portfolios, anywhere that may want the service.

I think you misread that - I have a game plan going on!!

You can nick the idea, mine have things like 'Having worked on the Olympic Park' and 'with ongoing works for major supermarkets' on them. That gives them a little clout. The leaflet has been thought out and is very good. Visual.

Get the leaflet right.

At a minimum for me people may read the leaflet and get on the website and increase the traffic, a bonus will be any work gained from them ;)

From small acorns grow large Oaks!!!

We all have to start somewhere, I really never cleaned any domestics - we were all window cleaning then and when I priced up pressure washing I was always too expensive!!

Just got another two stores to price up next month  ;D

I never saw my life being like this twelve years ago and I am only just scratching the surface!!

I started my window cleaning round hoping to make £12.00 per hour (I was on £6.00 per hour at work).

Whatever you do achieve, never take it for granted.
